I have been cooking since about the age of 7. Every since my mother showed me how to open a can. I have been experimenting ever since. I have lived several places in the country and lived for a year in Morocco courtesy USAF. I have lived in Florida, Arizona, California, and of course in Michigan. I enjoy local dishes and try to make them at home. Ham and eggs. French Toast. Italian dishes. Mexican dishes. Almost any thing with cheese in it or on it. I like to experiment with different herbs and spices . I like to make Creame Brule for my wife. Don't have any. We had some company come in and stayed for several days. I had taken some salmon out and needed to expand the amout of food to make up for the extra guests. I decided to put patatos, onions, mushrooms and some cheese that I had on hand. I wrapped it in tin foil and baked it for about an hour. I made some dill sauce with some sugar, balsamic vinegar, Whiskey, butter, salt and pepper, and of course fresh dill. It turned out very well, thank you. Everyone loved it. I substitute Balsamic vinegar for Lemon juice as my wife is allergic to citrus. I was making chili for a family dinner I grabbed the wrong spice can and put cinnamon in instead. We had to go out and eat as the chili could not be saved.
